@bitchwhocodes …Certainly most stores should be able to sell you anything from a single 1K resistor to a Raspberry Pi dev board.
@bitchwhocodes Our Maplin would probably remind you of Radio Shack, if that helps. Normally a counter at the back for component sales.

@charlie_cat_esq @UrsulaWJ Whether you like whisky or not, I recommend it as a place :) Went to my first Islay Whisky festival teetotal!
@charlie_cat_esq Fair enough. But if the sugar in an Old Fashioned helps, perhaps head for whiskies finished in sherry casks. Sweeter.
@UrsulaWJ @charlie_cat_esq Dunno. I don’t actually know many whisky places in Bristol. Most of my whisky consumption happens on Islay :)
